Another real Dales' classic route Stolly - made me feel a bit homesickOriginally Posted by Stolly
23rd November 2008 - Malham, Janet's Foss, Gordale Scar, Malham Tarn and Malham Cove Loop - 9.25 miles and approx 1000 ft up/down
OS Explore Route
This run is a bit of a nostalgia trip for me. Although I haven't run it at all so far this year, it is a route that I must have run every other weekend for about 5 years and I know it back to front and sideways. As a fell run its really not that testing to be honest and it includes a fair stretch of road to run too (imagine me doing a spit the dog impression here) but it is quite a fast run and regardless of the road and the relatively small climb (mostly up Gordale Scar itself) its really enjoyable.
The route tracks past a series of must see tourist attractions too - Janet's Foss, Gordale Scar, Malham Tarn and Malham Cove - and the snow and ice this morning made it that much more fun.

Fabulous run and a fantastic morning - 1 hour 29 minutes and 13 seconds.
